During today’s Star Wars Celebration, Director J.J. Abrams spoke about the importance of practical effects to the new film, and how it impacted the original Star Wars films as a whole.
“The thing that struck me, that wouldn’t get out of my head, is just how real you knew and felt Star Wars was when you first saw A New Hope. You couldn’t deny it,” Abrams said. “It’s Star Wars. There will be an endless number of effects. We needed a standard. You want it to be legitimate and authentic.”
“Building as much as you could was a mandate...it’s an amazing thing to be able to watch the movie and see what it is and not have to use your imagination.”
Abrams also spoke about the first 10 days of filming on location in Abu Dhabi, and revealed the name of the planet as Jacu and not Taooine. “Stars Wars is as much a western as it is a fairy tale...shooting in Abu Dhabi was just that.”
